About this map

Weaubleau Creek and its various branches, including the Little Weaubleau Creek, carve a intricate drainage pattern through this section of the Ozarks during the early 1940s. The landscape is defined by its small, scattered rural communities and a network of country schools that served the farming families of the era, such as Oak Grove Sch, Burgess Sch, and Climax Sch.

Transport and commerce center on the St Louis San Francisco railroad line, which connects the settlements of Gerster and Collins. These towns serve as local hubs along the rail corridor, while the surrounding hills are dotted with family-named landmarks like Boswell Bluff and Possum Hollow. The presence of several established houses of worship and burial grounds, including Kings Prairie Ch and the Robinson Cem, provides valuable points of interest for those researching the genealogy and social geography of Hickory and St. Clair Counties.
